AN: Hey everyone. glad you stopped by to read and/or check my story out. I am sorry about not updateing in a while. i had no access to a computer cause i wwent and lived with my dad for a while. now thats explained here is just a few things about this story. i got the idea for this story when i went with my father on the way to bowden, who actually drives a chicken truck. yes more or less everthing is true. there are actually crews made up of mostly men sometimes they have a few women that go to chicken farms late at night and catch chickens all night. as for the other characters that you see they probably exisit. the words with *'s around them are thoughts, ~'s are actions, and ()'s are author's notes. buh bye.

Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam wing. Nor do I own Lilydale. As for the other characters they own themselves. I have nothing to offer you but my little cardboard box way out here in the bush and three very disobediant puppies. I don't really want to give either up and me and savannah and joy and rona are not particularly fond of slave labour to pay off our debts. so please don't sue since we aren't doing this for money, welth, or fame. it probably wouldn't bring us either or.

Chapter 2 - Do They Have What It Takes?

"Greenhorns? What's that? I thought that you were chicken catchers?" asked a very confused Quatre.

"We are. A greenhorn is just what we call people who have never caught chickens before. It's nothing bad really." Lori explained to the crew. (AN: i am going to be calling the gundam characters the "crew" now. ok?)

"Oh. I see now."

"Ok little darlings. Enough standing around here sqawking like the chickens and get down to work..." Amanda started to say.

"We would but we don't know what to do you baka onna." Wufei snarled at the prospect of being called a 'little darling'. " And don't call me a darlling or a chicken."

"Well for one that's not a great way to talk to your boss. It's a long walk back to Lethbridge in case you hadn't noticed." Amanda started off. Seeing Wufei gulp she continued. "And in case you hadn't noticed I was talking to the group of people that were standing by the Expidition's door talking. They were the ones I called 'darlings' and I called the people who were talking chickens. Now. Were you part of either group. Think about it, but don't think too hard you don't want to crack open your brain to new experiences. Now as for you not knowing what to do. If you let finnish my first sentance then you would have realized that there were instructions comming. " Stoping for a minute she asked, " What do you think the first thing you do is?"

The boys thinking long and hard about it for a moment didn't realize that the girls had already whispered their answers to Lori and Amanda. Getting the answer right way they sat back and watched the boys rack their brains for the answer. Finally Quatre realised that all the girls were laughing at them and that Pliers was snickering too.

"What's so funny Hilde?" Duo asked.

"Think about it. What all did we bring with us. Then we were asked what we do first."

"Well," Quatre assed. "We brought food, tape, a ramp, and...... ohh I get it now."

"I still don't get it," Milliardo said.

"Well we also brought clothes, and when you bring clothes someplace what's the first place you usually do?" Quatre explained.

"Ok. So the first the we do is change?" Duo asked just to clarify.

"Yes. Then when everyone's done Pliers is going to take a couple of you and you are going to chase. Since all the girls changed while you pondered the question they can come and talk to the farmer with me. Pliers you know where the crew house is here right?" Amanda asked is 'Boss' mode.

"Yes, I was catching here while you still lived up north."

"Ok. Well then you guys go and change and us girls will be talking to the farmer." Amanda turned after she handed out her instructions that she felt that she really didn't need to and went to find out which barns the farmer wanted cleaned out first.

"Follow me you guys!" Pliers called out to the gundam boys. Finally realizing that he was being left behind, Wufie blushed a bit and went running after his friends. All the time he was changing he tried to figure out why he couldn't argue with the girl that was called Amanda.

*Man! I thought that I was good at arguing.* Wufei was thinking.

Meanwhile in less inteligent heads Duo was thinking...* If your happy and you know it clap your hands. If your happy and you know it...* "EWWWW!" Duo burst out of his happy little thoughts. "Does it always stink this much?"

"No," said Pliers.

"That's good." Quatre added.

"It usually stinks more!" Pliers laughed.

Eventually everyone was changed and they all went out of the creew house. (It kind of looked like a group of girlfriends comming out of the bathroom.)

"Well the farmer wants barns one and two cleaned out first. So Pliers can you pull the ramp up to the second side door of the barn and set up the ramp. We load the drivers side first, doing tops and bottoms at the same time. I would like to have you guys spilt in two groups. One will load the top and the others will be working on the bottom. Can I get you guys to seperate yourselves into two equal groups and make sure that the groups are fair. I don't nessasarily mean that there has to be the same amount of guys and girls... well you know what I mean so can you guys just do that now." Amanda told her crew her orders as she turned to go and start the chasing with a couple of the girls that she had recruited earlier when the boys were changing.

As soon as the girls were gone Wufie realized that they didn't know what they were supposed to be doing once they had established their groups. Turnin to the only other person that he thought might have some slue as to what they were supposed to be doing he asked, "What are we supposed to do now?"

"Well do you guys have your groups figured out? After you do that we will just wait here until Amanda the rest come back from chasing and getting the barn ready for loading." Lori answered the boy who had a look that said 'what have we gotten ourselves into'.

In about five minutes Amanda and the other two girls came into the small little room covered in dust and smelling very bad. As a wind swept by them it had everyonein the room holiding their noses with the exception of Lori and Pliers. Noticing the looks on their friends' faces Noin turned to Hilde and asked, "Do we offend?"

Laughing at this the girl said, "I hope not."

Not wanting to waste any more time Amanda stood back up from where she sat and started walking towards the door. Not saying anything because she was used to her crew getting this signal, but realizing as she walked out that it may take some time before this crew got the meaning of some of the non verbal commands.

Realizing that their boss had just walked out the door, Heero, Trowa, Zechs, Noin, Une, Treize and Sally got up and followed suit. Glanceing at his comrads a confused Quatre noted as a stament not as much as a questiong, "This means it's time to work."

"Yeah, it does," remarked Pliers as he walked into the room to get his forgotten mask. "I suggest that you people better get a move on or else she's going to be mad and to busy working to give you pointers and a quick lesson on how to catch the birds. She'll do what she did to a greenhorn a couple of months back. She just basically sat back and ignored him, so when that happens all you can do is watch the other catchers and hope you find something that works."

"Yipes!" Duo yelled as he ran out the door. "Wait for MEEEE..........!!!!!!!!!!"

Wufei looked thoroughly disgusted with the ex-gundam piolet. "Baka," was all that he said as he followed at a more slow pace behind his friends.
